The Basshead Club - Page 300

If you guys remember that frequency chart that I shared a few months back. I found out where it came from. It's here. It also gives descriptions on basically everything on there.

That is surprising!!!

UPDATE:I went bought the hdj-2000 from best buy to listen to them and i have to that im am disappointed. The bass is there but clarity no so much, i dont know if my phone is giving them the power that they need. When i tried to play around with the eq to increase the deepness of the bass it turned out to real muddy

Really?  A bit surprising to hear that considering I have a friend with those very cans, that he only got because I got him hooked on quality cans thanks to my beloved DJ1's

They don't have clarity? That's really a first for me. Among my basshead cans, the HDJ-2000 is definitely one of the cleanest sounding. Did you buy them, or were you testing it at Best Buy?

I can use HDJ-2000 with my phones without much issue. It's really strange that they sound muddy to you.

What would be your recommendations for something up to $300-ish.  Something with decent mids as vocals play a big part in a lot of music I listen too.  Interested in the AKG K267 and Pioneer HDJ-2000..

Thanks

What are the most popular bass-heavy models at the moment?
I'm looking at Atrio MG7, Sony XB90EX and Yamaha EPH-100 (Although this model seems more neutral than bass heavy)
Also the new JVC triple dynamic models look interesting...
Can somebody enlighten me on what's best?

The JVC FXZ200 need to be added to that list. 

The FXZ200 triple dynamics are amazing. They need to be in the ears of every basshead. I bumped up the bass with my ZO2 by 3 notches and it got that strong, lush bass really moving.

VTrue is $399 (and overpriced based on their sound fyi)
 

Well, the person I was trying to buy the xb700s from turned out to be a scam. Just my luck, huh. I got my monies back, though, so it's all good. Since the rest of the xb700 sales on ebay look fake and they cost a lot on Amazon, I'll probably get them used off of someone on Head-Fi one day.

Yes, also the Ultrasone Signature line is plastic and they are considered summit-fi.

Also, Sennheiser Amperior is basically an aluminum-cupped version of the HD-25.  I can't tell the difference between them sonically.

yea tight an mid range... one mod ur xb700 for tight bass, 2 get a tube for mid detail :D SOLVED

still though there is NOTHING as "BIG AND THUNDEROUS" as the xb700 so I've stopped looking. Besides I LOVE OPEN CAN BASS!

So is there a dark sub heavy open bass can :D [are teh auzdes sub bass heavy...]
